Zsuzsa, Castlemaine football netball club, number 26

there is an old community hall in Bunninyong, near Ballarat, where every year the extended members and friends of the Mc donalds family gather to share their love of music laughter and good company. They call it Music at Maccas.

An open stage is organised and everyone invited to share a song or four if they like.

this year our friend Andy, long time member of this happy gang, brought Wayne and I to play alongside his singing and guitar, Wayne on the mamdolin and harnonica, me on my old friend the flute.

old and young, everyone it seems took a turn, with this very special generosity and warmth that exudes from sincere offerings.

a very inclusive & heartfelt evening in great company.

french connection, Castlemaine.

J’étais chez le boucher aujoud’hui. La serveuse demande d’où je viens. Puis me dit. “i only know one sentence in french & it’s a bad one.” Well. Shoot, i say.

“suces ma bite”

oh. indeed.

😳

Say this about a child. In you they will always find a use. Say this as well. They cannot imagine a world where you do not love them, for what else should one do but love them?
